Launch of the Leadership Academy

The start of something amazing…

You may be aware, Active Fusion are the leading sports coaching, training, education and health trust provider in Doncaster, inspiring young people, and adults to get the most out of an active and healthy lifestyle.

We are inviting the best male and female leader in each school to join the elite leadership academy.Those elite leaders will be given the opportunity to take 6, 1 day, modules throughout the year giving them qualifications that will help them to build their experiences and develop their CV’s ahead of employment and/or higher education.

Our ambitions are to reduce the inactivity of Doncaster’s young people (With 29% of the Doncaster population being obese and 25% of 16 – 25 year olds doing no activity at all we need to identify sustainable interventions to enable positive change) and to offer those young adults routes into employment and higher education through our leadership academies

In 2014/2015 Active Fusion trained:

377 Year 2’s in 25 schools to become Mini Leaders

607 Year 4, 5 & 6’s in 28 schools to become Playground Games Markers

100 Y11/Y12 & Y13 UK Sports Leaders at level 1, 2 and 3

30 elite leaders from across 18 6th forms in Doncaster to form the Doncaster Elite Leaders Academy

The hope is that we can create a conveyer belt of enthusiastic young leaders from Y2 – Y13 ensuring that the standard of competition at primary and secondary level can be increased through better officiating and coaching. This in turn can lead to more employment opportunities throughout Doncaster for our elite leaders.
